One additional stash tab for you weirdos who keep everything

limited stash tabs ensure i keep almost nothing out of spite for limited space. There's no "i might use that later" its "i dont want to run to my stash". also its like they dont want to even come close to touching sorcerer discussion outside of 'yeah its hosed up lmao maybe later"

Also, they were surprised it became the endgame content people were pushing themselves to do, despite it being the only endgame content with scaling difficulty.

I'm not sure what they expect to happen with the nm difficulty nerf. Their endgame is nm pushing because there isn't anything else. They have an actual endgame activity planned but guess what it isn't here now.

Yes.. They said they want NM 100 to be roughly where NM 70 is and they don't really intend pushing to current NM dungeon 100 where everything can one shot you and you have to kill 1 mob at a time to be an end game activity.

No answer for why they increased leaving dungeon time from 3-5, only that they will "continue to evaluate"

The solution seems obvious to me - scale the drop rate of the uber uniques higher with every nm level over 70. This is a no-brainer but I'm sure they'd come back with "oh, the backend game systems work in a way that makes that impossible"

It's the emote wheel to teleport back to the entrance to the dungeon, right? The thing you use a few times in Campaign?

I'm just surprised they made any changes to it at all! What's the use-case for it on the player side?

Sometimes yes, but most times no.

If a dev has to go to a different stage off the Blizzard campus they typically get makeup. They usually only do this for new or smaller games that do press because Blizzard doesn't have a dedicated decorated room for them. They probably get makeup as part of the overall package included with renting the stage (and AV, and catering...)

D4 is the big game that does have a room, and so traditionally they don't bring in makeup. They just call the guys to the room and turn the camera on (because Blizzard is cheap).

Joe Shely looks fuckin rough lol. Remember that the original D4 design leadership got turbo canceled by the Cosby House stuff so he got surprise promoted pretty late from just being the class guy to take over the whole thing. There's a.... sharp uptick in long, arduous meetings in your life after that happens.
